{"product_id":"lis-wessberg_twain-walking-vinyl_2024_lad","title":"TWAIN WALKING (vinyl)","description":"Danish trombonist Lis Wessberg is convinced that a strong melody and a rich sound are the two most important elements in composition and performance. Continuing the contemporary and refined response to the \"Cool Jazz\" sound she has cultivated for 30 years, her second album \"Twain Walking\" is released today...With over 50 albums to her name, she has played and toured with renowned artists such as Marilyn Mazur, Fredrik Lundin, Joyce Moreno, Kid Creole \u0026 The Coconuts, Ernie Wilkins Almost Big Band feat. Randy Brecker, and many others. 2021 saw the release of her debut album \"Yellow Maps\", which was critically acclaimed across Europe.  - - Delving into a personal exploration of her creative roots, \"Twain Walking\" draws inspiration from the warm vitality of New Orleans jazz, the thoughtful hum of the ECM sound, and the boundary-pushing writing of Radiohead.  - - With a respectful nod to her influences such as Miles Davis, Curtis Fuller, Danish Erling Kroner, and Palle Mikkelborg, Wessberg operates within the traditions they established. However, resisting producing a mere echo of the past, she cultivates her own distinct aesthetic inspired in equal parts by her heroes as well as contemporary zeitgeist.  - - Led by Wessberg's dynamic trombone playing, her breathy approach to the instrument mimics a human voice lamenting as it sings complex lyrical melodies. Rock-inspired drum grooves, thick synthesizer timbres, and cavernous reverbs create an expansive, dreamlike contemporary sound world in which Wessberg's thoughtful compositions can unfold. From spacious Nordic ballads to the psychedelia of dance tracks, the ensemble tackles the ten varied compositions with confidence, maturity, and a keen sense of personal expression. Featuring rising Estonian star Karmen Roivassepp on vocals, her effortless solo contributions explore the lyrical themes of recognizing the beauty of love in life, elevating the album's melancholic and reflective tone.","brand":"Lis Wessberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310222590296,"sku":null,"price":20240913.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5709498112411_4122382f-3331-4818-b5f7-2100684522cd.jpg?v=1760319008","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/lis-wessberg_twain-walking-vinyl_2024_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
